The cruise is 19 days starting in Auckland New Zealand going to Sydney plus other points in Australia. Next to Komodo Indonesia, Bali, Malaysia ending in Singapore. The reason for my indecision is the flights. You leave Charlotte and fly to Dubai, have a layover of almost a day there and then fly to Auckland which is a 20 plus hour flight. I have checked other flights but if I don't take this particular one I lose certain discounts on the cruise. I don't have a problem with losing the discounts but getting my wife on an airplane for that long probably won't happen. Even with some shorter flights it still amounts to at least 24 hours in the air. Anybody been on a similar cruise, I would love any selling points I can use on the other half.
